Biography
Henry Scrope accompanied John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset on the Barbary Crusade to Mahdia in 1390, and he became a knight in 1403. Scrope fought on King Henry IV of England's side at the Battle of Shrewsbury, although his uncle, Archbishop of York Richard le Scrope, had risen up against the king in that same uprising. He became friends with Beaufort's half-brother, King Henry V of England, and he served as Treasurer of England in 1410; that same year, he was made a Knight of the Garter. In 1415, he took part in a plot to murder King Henry and place Edmund Mortimer, 5th Earl of March on the throne, but March betrayed these plans to King Henry, who had the plotters beheaded on 5 August 1415.
